****NEWS Type of Breast Implants: Natural Breast Implants

According to an article by FOX NEWS (and others), silicone breast implants may be replaced by a new ‘natural’ form of implant that uses tissue grown by a person’s own stem cells—immature cells with the ability to change into any type of body cells under the right conditions. I hear scientists have throughout years tried to increase breast size with, with no success (apparently). However, if they were to suceed women would greatly benefit from it.

First off, women would have the implants that would feel and look like natural breasts without the risk of neither deflation nor interference with mammographies. Second, since the natural implants require the surgeons to suck the fat from different parts of the body, particularly stomach, women would be having a ‘two in one’ type of deal. Also, scientists believe that adding stem cells into the body may actually encourage the growth of new blood vessels; in addition, there is no risk of rejection by the patient’s immune system.

‘Natural’ breast implants will certainly more desirable than artificial ones. I must emphasize how anxious I am for the completion of the studies.
